William Lane Craig

Who is William Lane Craig?

William Lane Craig is an American Christian apologist and analytic philosopher. He works in the philosophy of religion, philosophy of time, and the defense of Christian theism. He revived interest in the Kalām cosmological argument with his 1979 publication of The Kalām Cosmological Argument, an argument for the existence of God with origins in the early church and refined by medieval Islamic scholasticism. In theology, he has also defended Molinism and the belief that God is, since Creation, subject to time.

Craig has authored or edited a number of books, including The Cosmological Argument from Plato to Leibniz, Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics, and The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology.
